Today we’d like to introduce you to Beau Jennings
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
I began writing songs in college, and started a band soon after. I studied architecture in college at the same time. It was a time of constant learning. I guess I still am always learning.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
I try to always keep things smooth in a sense of making sure I always follow what I’m drawn to. I try to chase the things that compel me. So deciding what to do and what to pursue has generally been easy to decide. Learning how to do those things well and sticking to them, that is rarely smooth.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I’m primarily a songwriter and band leader for my band Beau Jennings & The Tigers. We are releasing our 3rd album this fall, and my 10th album overall. I’d say I’m most proud of maintaining a consistent artistic output over the last 20 years while maintaining a career that can support my family. I’d like to show its possible to my kids, or anyone really, that you can make quality art in a meaningful way that isn’t compromised by the burden of having to also provide income.
Is there any advice you’d like to share with our readers who might just be starting out?
Pursue the things that compel you and see where they take you. Find something that is unique to you and don’t be afraid to drill down on it, it’s the only real way forward as an artist.
